Stargate Universe was a disgrace to the SG Universe. No likeable characters - pointless love triangles - stupid combat and not enough action. It was like watching Big Brother except in Space and in the stargate universe... brrrr

Just like Walking Dead is going to die a hopefully quick death after this pointless waste of time that they call S1 (with 6 episodes!) and way too boring zombies. After L4D you'd think they can come up with a bit more than just walkers....

no thats true - the writers squandered all the momentum trying to explore some kind of pretentious "human drama" bullshit.. and by the time they realized their mistake it was too late - sadly they actually did seem to have realized it IMHO and the last half of this last season I thought was shaping up quite well.. they dropped most of the screentime for the sappy shit, but it was still very dark and conflicted, looked like it had potential for something new in SG

sadly, too little too late.. in fact it was only in the last few minutes of this mid-season finale where i finally thought the show was "starting to get good" - as they were dropped into the middle of a giant battle between all kinds of alien ships

another reason i watched it is because it was the only fucking game in town.. where are the rest of the "classic" sci-fi series, with the spaceships and aliens?? please tell me if you can find one

i used to get away with watching sg1 or atlantis with my roommates but when i watched the series premier of universe it was so embarrassing i had to turn it off and apologize.

they canceled atlantis, a good show with a proven track record, so they could fund universe and destroy the brand. bravo.

i remember five years ago scifi had the power trio - sg1, atlantis and battlestar galactica. now they have ghost hunters and wrestling.

Well crap! Canceling Caprica was no big deal. I sort of watched it but didn't love it. But SGU was really getting interesting and I started to look forward to it on Tuesdays. You look at all the absolute shit SyFy spews and yet you've always had to give them a little credit for things like Stargate and BSG. I guess they needed that timeslot for reruns of Sharktopus and Mansquito.

Syfy Execs: Well gentlement we are a shit channel with only a few decent shows so we really don't have a lot of money anymore. Ever since we changed our name and turned away from science fiction our audience has left in droves.

Syfy Employee: So what do we do then?

Syfy Execs: We cancel Stargate Universe and bring in more WRESTLING!

Fuck you scifi. If not for Warehouse 13, Eureka and the now dead Stargate Universe, I would ask my provider to remove your channel as it's a waste of television amidst the wastes of television.

I mean seriously. DO TV execs really not understand why total television viewership in the US drops by a few million ever single year? Buy a fucking clue.

I wish they'd do something like that for the scientific literature on the National Institutes of Health database. Label each scientific publication as Important Breakthrough, Interesting Advance, Marginal and Repetitive, or Completely Unsupported Hogwash.

You'd think that would be possible by filtering manuscripts using their Scientific Impact Factor, but it's simply not the case.
